Another round of battles has come to an end, this time the Seekers have claimed victory. Everyone who participated in this skirmish can now claim their reward(s) at the Battleground of the Obelisk.

Sign-ups for the next round will start in one week. Until then you can read up all about the skirmishes on our Skirmish Battles guide.

Not even Christmas time can distract Professor Lambert, the Duchess and the twins from their goal of winning the favour of the Oracle (after all, there might still be cake left). It is time to help your faction fight at the Battleground of the Obelisk again. You have until the end of Sunday to do so. 

More information about the skirmishes can be found on our Skirmish Battles guide.

It looks like the new MME17 is now available for sale in the NC Mall, just in time for the Day of Giving! It is called: MME17-S1: Winters Eve Ball Gown.


EDIT: Our MME Guide has now been updated. There are only two different I.D.'s: 69311, and 69312.

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope that you'll have great holidays to spend with your family and friends.

To celebrate, here's some more new Winter Graphics from us.

The Battleground for the Obelisk is stirring up dust again.  It is that time to chose a side.  Will you be a Seeker of knowledge?  Perhaps you will find your attendance mandotory with the Sway.  On the other hand, the Awakened has promised cake!

Here are the next two upcoming Caption Contest images. Time to get your thinking caps on!

TNT has activated this and last week's NP Wearables.

There is a new avatar out! From the mention in the news it would appear to be gotten from the game Snow Roller. Exact Score is unknown at this time. Something higher than 6,467 but lower than 6,570 (lowest score confimed with avatar so far).  Assumed score is 6,500. 

Tips for Snow Roller:

• Hold down the up button to slow your snowball down, giving you more time to jump obstacles and build up your snowball size.
• The white slushie will give you the "black hole" power up, which draws all items to you, allowing you to collect them automatically without having to aim for them. While you have this power up, you can jump continuously to avoid obstacles, and all items will be sucked into your snowball. This is a great power up, so always try to collect it.
• When you have a choice of paths, try choosing the longer ones, so that you have a longer time to collect items for more points.
• Collecting items makes your snowball bigger, and hitting obstacles will make your snowball smaller. If your snowball gets too small, your game is over. At the end of each level section, you get a bonus based on how large your snowball is. So try to avoid hitting obstacles in order to keep your snowball as large as possible. It's easiest to avoid obstacles by using the space bar to jump over them, but you can also steer your snowball back and forth with the arrow keys.
• Pay close attention; some of the obstacles are white and can blend into the background.
• Go for the snowbunnies, poogles and chias first as they will give the most points (40 points).

	Send a score of ??? or higher in Snow Roller. Exact score unknown at this time, its between 6,467 and 6,570.
